Hi Frank. How's the packing going? I'm in your neck of the woods Monday night, bit of a do at Chelsea Pier. IMHO the PC brigade are going to be the downfall of the west.

Last time at Chelsea Piers, my sons team won their league soccer championship. Of course I was coaching, with another parent.
I concur, with your downfall of the west.
Packing, is minimal, the moving company are doing most of it. I just hate the whole moving thing. Moving day is 6/13. UGH!!!!!! Getting to old for this long distance moving stuff. To scary.

Keep an eye on you wife's jewellery Frank. I had an antique broach pinned to a coat that I forgot about. Yep you guessed right, when our stuff arrived in the US the broach didn't. Years before I knew someone that had their house burgled, the only thing of any value that was left was a broach that was pinned on a coat in the wardrobe. I thought it was a good hiding place so I did the same, just forgot to remove when we moved.

Thanks for the advice.
We are packing and taking with us all personal items, including objet d'art, that for personal reasons cannot be replaced. The Explorer will come in handy.
The only annoying thing is, everytime we stop at hotels on the way down, we will need to carry everything into the hotel rooms.

*nods* It's a British trait to find humour even in war war, though we obviously prefer jaw jaw. The Islamic terrorists think up all sorts of stupid justifications in support of suicide bombers killing British civilians. Brits are entitled to find humour in the silliness behind would be suicide bombers.

Has anyone read the book "Londonistan", by Melanie Phillips? She had an excellent piece in today's New York Post.

reminds me of the para in the Falklands War relating the tail of whren he lost his leg. He tells how he shouted 'F$%^&& I 've lost me leg' to which the reply came 'No you haven't it's over here'.

Been there, done that. Along with travelling with a toddler, it makes for a big pain in the butt at check-in time!

Re: chemical WMD, the insects could be trained on the binary compounds - not on the toxic chemical agent itself. Could be made to work for finding conventional explosives or their "elements" (as in, not periodic table element).

When I heard that it was during the blitz in World war 2 so I wouldnt place much faith in it originating in the Falklands mate

Richard III probably started it

Richard III???? Isn't that cockney rhyming slang?
